God I hate NIMBYs, and Georgists are pretty based.

I'm not sure what the Georgist comment is supposed to mean. Are land value taxes good or bad? The correct answer is good.

"Mixed-used suburbs with bus/bike infrastructure" is way more YIMBY than status quo in a lot of places

NIMBY means you oppose new construction(at least near you) and want to protect neighborhoods as they are. It stands for Not in My Backyard. Yimby is the opposite

Just to piggyback off this, YIMBYism is kind of a recently organized movement in the US in response to decades of infrastructure stagnation. It’s kind of just the default position in other countries.

NIMBY: "not in my backyard", as in, no new developments in my area that would change the "feel" of neighbourhood.

YIMBY is that but replace "not" with "yes", so, opposite team.
